When I joined Netflix in April 2014, we had over 40 million subscribers in 41 countries. During this time we did do plenty of hard work, rolling out new technologies and major microservice versions, and fixed many problems big and small. A latency outlier issue that happened every 15 minutes.

SQL Server According to Bob

SEPTEMBER 26, 2016

As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated. Our customers who deployed Availability Groups were now using servers for primary and secondary replicas with 12+ core sockets and flash storage SSD arrays providing microsecond to low millisecond latencies. Now disk I/O and CPU capacity were no longer an issue.

Devices and networks have evolved too: Alex Russell @slightlylate An update on mobile CPUs and the Performance Inequality Gap: Mid-tier Android devices (~$300) now get the single-core performance of a 2014 iPhone and the multi-core perf of a 2015 iPhone. mid-priced Androids were slightly faster than 2014's iPhone 6.

Based on the activity in bcc, and their development of the BTF and CO-RE technologies, I'd strongly suspect their solution is based on the bcc libbpf-tool versions. ## Porting Pitfalls BPF tracing tools are like application and kernel patches.

This architecture shift greatly reduced the processing latency and increased system resiliency. We expanded pipeline support to serve our studio/content-development use cases, which had different latency and resiliency requirements as compared to the traditional streaming use case. divide the input video into small chunks 2.

Here's some output from my zfsdist tool, in bcc/BPF, which measures ZFS latency as a histogram on Linux: # zfsdist. Tracing ZFS operation latency. And namespaces, used for Linux containers, are also a relevant technology. Hit Ctrl-C to end. ^C I also checked a task list from /sys/fs/cgroup, and saw it's in a docker cgroup.

The new AWS Africa (Cape Town) Region will have three Availability Zones and provide lower latency to end users across Sub-Saharan Africa. AWS has been an active member of the local technology community since 2004. Hyrax has developed an AWS based technology called Exatype, which rapidly and accurately tests HIV drug resistance.

The new region will give Nordic-based businesses, government organisations, non-profits, and global companies with customers in the Nordics, the ability to leverage the AWS technology infrastructure from data centers in Sweden. In 2014 and 2015 respectively, AWS opened offices in Stockholm and Espoo, Finland.

Traditional CMS is a dead end In the last 5 years, traditional CMS landscape is not evolved much - both CMS technologies as well market maturity remains unchanged. Although some vendors have added support for APIs and cloud services most have not even bothered to adapt with changing technology landscape.
